Enron chair Ken Lay hosted a fundraiser Sept. 20 for Elizabeth Dole.
About $20,000 was raised.
The $5,000 "she raised from Lay and his family will be donated to Enron employees."
(Charlotte Observer)
It's tragic that these feminists reject the facts which show a decrease of major crime in every state where conceal carry laws have been enacted. It's obvious Mrs. Clinton and Mrs. Dole prefer the governments of totalitarian nations such as China, Russia, Cuba, Nazi Germany and many others
May 21 — Elizabeth Dole is preparing to place Texas Gov. George W. Bush in the cross hairs Saturday when she delivers a speech stressing her support for gun control to a group of Georgia Republicans.
[Dole] told reporters... “You don’t need an AK-47 to defend your family.” Source: Boston Herald, 5/6/99, p. 35 col. 2 May 6, 1999
[Dole] called for measures like retaining the prohibition on assault weapons, backing a ban on armor-piercing bullets, and favoring child safety locks on guns. “I certainly believe in the Second Amendment and a person’s right to bear arms. But... you don’t need an AK-47 to defend your family.” Source: New York Times, 5/4/99, p. A18, col. 1-2 May 4, 1999
“Can you think of any reason a family needs an AK-47 or an Uzi to protect their family or go hunting?” asked Dole, who favors child safety locks on guns and instant background checks on people trying to buy guns. Source: Chris Burritt, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution Jun 4, 1999
May 10 — Hearing her in-your-face talk about gun control, it’s not hard these days to mistake Elizabeth Dole for a Democrat.
IF THATS CLASS I'LL STICK WITH THE BUMS
The money discussed in the story was from Lay, not Enron. Corporate contributions to candidates is illegal.

I think it's astounding the heat ENRON is getting for it's political donations. Point in fact, 35 other organizations gave more, and the # 1 cash cow was the Federal Employees Union, with their money going to Democrats.
(I heard Brian Lamb say this information was on C-Span's ENRON show last night. I believe the source was Fred Werthheimer of Common Cause)
Oh come on, you know good and well that if big tobacco asked your band to come play a gig for say $20,000, you'd jump in the truck faster than a pig falling in the mud.
Liddy Dole is a liberal left-winger along the model of a McCain, or Whitman. She is also an atni-Second Amendment gun-grabber. In my book she is as useless as her dopy husband was in the Senate and as a Presidential Candidate.
Agreed. But it's quite a class act to turn over the Enron's political contributions to the employees they rear-ended.
Could you please explain the difference to me? Other than the fact that Giddy used to sleep with that RINO Bob Dole,that is. If Bowles were to start going to his knees for Bob,there would be no real difference between the two. Certainly not in the votes they would cast.
Haven't you heard? The RNC has Giddy all dressed-up now and claiming she is a "strong supporter of the 2nd Amendment". And they fully expect NC voters will be stupid enough to swallow it. The sad part is that they are probably right.
Giddy Dole is pro-gun control AND bans,pro-choice on abortion,and pro-affirmative action. This is according to her OWN words. Maybe YOU think this makes her a conservative?
The Reagan Information Interchange
Many of your colleagues participated in raising $7 million dollars for Albanian victims. When Serbs give money to IOCC, International Orthodox Charities we are compelled to give this money blindly to all victims, you Senators prove how immoral and shallow are the roots of your humanitarianism. Libby Dole received $9,000 for her presidential campaign for her services. While the Milosevic government permitted Red Cross aid trucks to reach Bosnian Muslim victims through Serbian lines, it is confirmed that Libby Dole withheld food and medicine from all Serbian victims in Bosnia because all Serbs were assigned with collective guilt as "aggressor." I wonder if she is running on her humanitarian record, too?
Guess who is in Bosnia? Al-Qaeda.
Where do you get your information about her stances on abortion, because she is Pro-life according to several sources I'd looked at. Actually, Dole is quoted as very candidly as saying that she's pro-life. You'll need some convincing evidence to prove she's pro-choice, because her own words prove you wrong.
From several things she said while she was campaigning for president. Abortion is not MY primary focus,so you will have to go to other sources to document this. That is if you can find any that aren't knee-jerk Republican.
because she is Pro-life according to several sources I'd looked at.
Yeah,and if you had heard her speech a couple of days ago,you would discover she has always been "strongly pro-2nd Amendment",too.
